    NOT A FLIP. NOT A TYPICAL RENOVATION. This is a ground-up rebuild from the original block shell of a 1960s rancher, completely reimagined and expanded into a 2,495-square-foot, two-story home with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The original block shell provided an exceptionally substantial starting point, including impressive 21-inch-thick block walls on the main level. From there, the home was rebuilt for modern living, including a new slab and the addition of an entirely new second level. The extensive rebuild includes a new architectural shingle roof, premium LP SmartSide engineered wood siding, new windows, new plumbing, new main water and sewer lines, new HVAC units, new electrical, new sheetrock and new fixtures. Hybrid flooring throughout provides the look and feel of a high-end finished floor while offering full moisture resistance from both the top and bottom. At the heart of the home is a completely new kitchen designed to make a statement. A huge quartz-topped island anchors the space, complemented by new cabinetry, quartz countertops, a Whirlpool stainless steel appliance package and a dedicated butler's pantry offering additional storage and prep space. The bathrooms have also been completely rebuilt with tiled finishes, new vanities, quartz countertops and new fixtures, carrying the clean, modern design throughout the home. With four bedrooms, two and a half baths and nearly 2,500 square feet across two levels, the redesigned floor plan offers the space and flexibility today's buyers are looking for while retaining something nearly impossible to duplicate in conventional new construction: the massive block structure of the original home. Located at 1809 Rankin Street in Chattanooga, the home offers convenient access to the Hamilton Place area, shopping, dining, entertainment and Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport. This property shouldn't be confused with a cosmetic remodel. Starting with the original block shell, the seller rebuilt the home from the ground up, replaced its major systems, added a second story and created an entirely new residence around one exceptionally solid original structure. 1960s block construction. Ground-up rebuild. Modern design. Practically everything else is new.
